Terra's POV:

As we went back through the disgusting scented sewers with a broken Donnie in our arms, I couldn't help but think about what had happened to him. When I was forced under Slade's command, he had implanted two control modules into the top of my skull, one on either side. I had to blindly follow every order he gave me. And worst of all, those damn control modules made me LIKE IT.

I shuddered at the memory, while guilt simultaneously washed over my mind. How could I ever have thought that Slade might ever be able to help me over the Titans?

It didn't look like anything had been done to Donnie like it was to me, but I still had my suspicions. It wasn't like Slade to go through all the trouble of kidnapping someone and then just letting them go.

We were halfway back to the lair, and Donnie had passed out from exhaustion long ago. Despite what you might think, those shells on the turtles are NOT LIGHT. It felt like the tiny looking Donatello himself weighed 400 pounds. Despite my meta human strength, I was exhausted.

"Hey Gar, can we rest for a moment? He is really heavy." I said.

"Sure." Said Gar, looking quite tired himself.

We found a relatively dry tunnel and propped Donnie's back on the wall. We then sat down across from him.

"Well Gar, we sure are going to have one hell of a story to tell the others if we get back home." I said, smiling lightly. (A/N Jump City, Titans tower not the lair in NYC).

"WHEN we get back, Tara." Gar corrected.

"How are you always so positive Gar?"

"Because I have faith, Tara. Just like I have faith that Donnie will be alright." He said, seriously, with a hint of a smile on his lips. I leaned my head to be propped on his shoulder, which he accepted.

"Why do you have so much hope Gar?" I asked, barely above a whisper.

"Because you came back to me, Tara." He answered. "Everyone thought you were dead in your stone prison, But I always knew you were alive, and that you would come back to me someday."

I was touched. The fact that he had that much hope for my return? Could he… be returning my feelings for him? 'Maybe he does like me like that… but after all I put him through? Unlikely.' I thought to myself, not knowing just how wrong I was.

Just then, Gar's Titan communicator buzzed. Before he was kidnapped, Donnie had adjusted the frequencies of Gar's communicator so the turtles could stay in contact. I looked to see who it was. It was Leo.

"Beast Boy here." Gar said to the circular mini radio.

"Hey guys… do you have Donnie?" Leo asked over the frequency, sounding worried.

"Yep. Were on our way. See you in 5. Beast Boy out." Gar said to the communicator.

He stuffed the yellow and black circle back on his utility belt and stood up. He reached out a hand to offer me some help getting up, and I gladly accepted. We then went over to the wall Donnie was leaning against, and picked him up.

As we were walking back to the lair, my thoughts drifted to Gar, and to what he had said to me. I smiled at the prospect that he just might actually be into me, and blushed at the ground.

Donatello's POV:

I was groggy again, waking up. I hadn't opened my eyes. Then I heard voices. It sounded like Beast Boy and Tara.

"Why do you have so much hope Gar?" Tara said.

"Because you came back to me, Tara." Beast Boy answered. "Everyone thought you were dead in your stone prison, But I always knew you were alive, and that you would come back to me someday."

I squinted through my eyes which were slightly ajar, although not enough so that it was noticeable. I saw the look on their faces. That was a look I had seen in almost every sappy disgusting romance movie Leo made us watch when his eyes weren't glued to that illogical TV show Space Heros. It was a look of longing, regret for some unintentional pain caused, and one of happiness along with hope. And then I figured it out. It was a look of love.

'Excellent. Now I have something to report to the master. Their weakness will be their un-doing.' I thought to myself, trying to surpress a smirk and not make it obvious that my eyes were slightly open.

A beeping communicator interrupted their little love-filled staring competition. I slammed my eyes shut.

"Beast Boy here."

"Hey guys… do you have Donnie?" Said a voice over the communicator frequency. It sounded like Leo.

"Yep. Were on our way. See you in 5. Beast Boy out."

I heard them get up, and approach me. I tried to go as limp as possible. Ninjas are excellent at the art of deception.

They picked me up, and began to walk again. In the dark of the sewer, I smirked very slightly. This just got interesting.

Beast Boy's POV:

Telling Tara I was hopeful and very happy of her return seemed to stir up even more emotion than before. In fact, after seeing her reaction to my telling her that, I wondered if she actually… liked me like… that.

Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at her. Her beautiful, long,(A/N I hate terra with short hair. She looks kinda dumb with it.) pure gold tresses concealed the side of her face that I was able to see… God, how I longed to drop this 400 pound turtle, push her onto the wall and start to-

"Gar?"

I was shaken out of my thoughts by her angelic voice. I swallowed hard.

"Yes?"

"Were here."

"Oh."

I think she noticed the look on my face because I saw a light blush start to form.

We put Donnie down again, and I pulled the pipe that revealed the access panel, and I punched in the code. The bricks separated, and Tara and I brought Donnie through. The rest of the team rushed to him. They began to pelt us with questions.

"Was he safe when you found him?"

"Why did it take you so long to get back?"

"Are you two injured? In any way?"

"Can we order pizza now?" Everyone glared at Mikey after this comment.

"What?" He asked.

"Bring him over here." April ordered.

Tara and I passed off Donnie to Raph and Leo, who brought him to Donnie's room. April followed in suit with a bunch of medical equipment, and proceeded to slam the door.

"Well that brings a new meaning to exiting stage right…" Tara muttered, remarking on how mostly everyone had rushed out of the main room with Donnie.

I laughed mildly, but given the situation, I stopped. They were all so worried about their brother, so, for the moment, it was just Mikey, Casey, Tara and I. Tara, being the kind, caring person she is saw Mikey on the couch, his face in his palms. He was muttering things and crying a bit as well. She went over past Casey and I, and proceeded to sit next to him.

"You ok, Mikey?" She asked, sincerely.

"No." He said back, sharply.

Without a second thought she wrapped her arms around his torso and said "Were here for you."

He hugged her back almost immediately, his crying coming to an end. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy at that. 'Are you kidding me? Stop it Gar. There is nothing going on.' I told myself. I understood why Mikey had stopped crying. It was just something about that perfect woman that could calm even the monster that I had unwillingly formed a few weeks ago (A/N the monster BB turns into in the episode The Beast Within). Maybe it was her bubbly tantalizing personality, or her natural instinct for comforting others.

Just then, the door to Donnie's room swung open and slammed into the wall next to it. Raph came marching out in what appeared to be a storm of pure rage. I approached immediately.

"What's wrong?" I asked. "Is he ok?"

"He should be fine by morning. I'm just going to blow off some steam." He said, headed straight for the dojo.

"Right behind you, Raph." I said, my voice also slightly tinted with anger. Slade would pay. Very dearly.

Donatello's POV:

After awile of running their futile tests with their inferior machines to that of the Master's, they finally left me to rest. Except I needed no rest. It was all an act.

I ripped off the sheet that lay gently atop me, and slowly creaked open my door. The main room was pretty dark. All of the fools must have gone to sleep hours ago. I stepped into the main room, and it appeared that all my brothers doors were shut. I crept along the walkway, until I came to the little island before the walkway that gave access to the main computer. There appeared to be some kind of lump on the couch.

I shined a very dim flashlight that I stole from my room on it, and what I saw next couldn't have been more pathetic.

Beast Boy and Tara were sleeping very close to one another. Not quite touching, but just barely. My flashlight made them shift. Tara turned around to face Beast Boy, and he in turn, wrapped his arms around her, all the while unconscious. The fact that they hadn't figured out that they liked one another at this point mystified me. I shrugged.

I walked around the couch, the flashlight guiding my way, in the direction of the main computer. I approached the chair I always sat in, and pulled out a flash drive. I accessed the hard-drive of the TMNT main computer, and found the schematics for my "Terra Assistance Machine" as I liked to call it, which would help Tara amplify her powers to re-open the wormhole she, the master, and that green midget had quite literally fallen through. I downloaded a copy of this file along with a few others for Shredder.

I then took out my Slade Communicator. It was An all black circle with an orange S in the middle. I raised it to my mouth.

"Master, I have acquired what you asked for."

"Excellent, Apprentice. Anything else to report?" Slade asked of me.

"Yes, Master. The Beast Brat and that Blonde rocks-for-brains seem to have… an interest in one another."

"Very good, apprentice. I already knew this but… we will exploit this weakness… bring the flash drive to the coordinates I am sending you now. Slade out."

With that, the Master hung up, and I received the coordinates. I rushed for the door to make the drop. Before exiting the lair, I looked over my shoulder. Soon these fools would be destroyed and Master Splinter WOULD BE AVENGED!
